Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Alta Forest Prodcuts,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a me a g ro u p Page 1 1.0 INTRODUCTION This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has been prepared at the request and direction of Alta Forest Products, Inc. (Alta) for their Shelton, Washington facility (Ecology Industrial General Stormwater Permit WAR000373). The Alta facility is located at 780 West Hwy 108 in Shelton,Washington (the site).The SWPPP has been prepared to meet the requirements and standards of a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan pursuant to guidelines established by the Industrial Stormwater General Permit(ISGP)to Discharge Stormwater Associated with Industrial Activity issued by the State of Washington, Department of Ecology (Ecology) under the direction of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) pursuant to Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 122, 123 and 124. Information to develop the SWPPP was gathered during site walks and during conversations with facility personnel.The SWPPP is pursuant to guidelines established by Ecology's ISGP in January 2015. It is the purpose of this revision to the original SWPPP to evaluate and update the plan as necessitated by the terms of the ISGP and Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMM) (2012 edition as amended in December 2014). The SWPPP identifies current operating procedures and general policies affecting the quality of stormwater discharges.The SWPPP includes a facility description detailing sources of pollutants potentially entering storm water runoff, as well as a description of the measures currently in place and those to be implemented by Alta to control discharges of pollutants into stormwater. Practices utilized to ensure reduction of actual or potential pollutants to stormwater discharge are referred to as Best Management Practices(BMPs). Forms created to manage the SWPPP are included as attachments to the SWPPP. 1.1 Purpose of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan The SWPPP describes the measures that will be taken to implement best management practices, to reduce stormwater pollutant loading or eliminate pollution and to monitor the quality of stormwater runoff. 1.2 Stormwater Pollution Prevention Committee Appendix A identifies the personnel responsible for preparing this SWPPP and overseeing the implementation of the pollutant reduction measures for actual or potential pollutant loading in the stormwater discharge.These personnel form the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Committee. Duties of these personnel include conducting monthly inspections, collecting storm water discharge samples, evaluating analytical results,evaluating the effectiveness of BMPs,completing annual reporting requirements,and certifying the facility's compliance with the ISGP. www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a ntea'g ro u p Page 2 1.3 Protocol on Public Access to SWPPP This SWPPP is to be retained on-site. The SWPPP will be provided to interested parties and upon request to Ecology. The SWPPP will be made available to the public by Ecology under Section 308(b)of the Clean Water Act. Any requests for a copy of the SWPPP by Ecology or othergovernment agency is to be forwarded to Mr.Brad Prihoda. 1.4 Amending the SWPPP Changes to this SWPPP will be made whenever a change in the facility's activities or construction occurs or when the SWPPP is shown to be ineffective at reducing stormwater discharge pollutant loading. If the amendments result in a change to the nature of pollutants discharged or increases the quantity of pollutants discharged advanced notice will be given to Ecology when possible. The SWPPP may also be changed if it is determined by the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Committee that there are more economical BMPs that can be used to reduce pollutant loading in stormwater discharges. The Committee is responsible for determining whether changes are required. Changes to this SWPPP may be made by formally amending the SWPPP or by writing directly on the printed SWPPP. All changes will be dated and verified with an authorized signature using the SWPPP Certification Form (Appendix B). The Record of Reviews(Table 1.5)summarizes the date of SWPPP reviews,the issues that prompted a review,and the necessary SWPPP updates identified during the review. Table 1.5-Record of Reviews Date of Review Reasoning SWPPP Changes January 2018 • SWPPP rewrite in accordance with the 2015 ISGP • SWPPP rewrite WAR000373. • Additional impervious area added to site in 2017.

November 2009 • Adherence to Permit S03-000373 • Original SWPPP 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION AND LOCATION 2.1 General Nature of Facility Activities Alta manufactures cedar fencing products at the Shelton,Washington mill. Primary operations conducted at the site include offloading of logs onto a pervious log yard,debarking of logs,processing fence boards,and loading milled fence boards onto trucks and rail cars for transport off the facility. The facility's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is 2421. The facility is in active production operations for approximately 20 hours per day, Monday through Thursday. At nights and on weekends the facility is staffed by a cleanup/maintenance crew. If no work force is present,the facility is staffed by a security officer making hourly rounds. www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Pre vention Plan Alto Forest Products,LLC. Y 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to ag ro u p Page 3 2.2 General Facility Location and Area Alta and the surrounding area are shown on the Area Map(page 5).The operational component of the site covers a total of approximately 36 acres of which approximately 14.3 acres is impervious.To the south,the site is bordered by an active railroad track and right-of-way. The eastern portion of the property is comprised mostly of pervious log yards and natural green space. The western half of the facility is mostly composed of impervious surfaces including concrete,pavement,and structures. Skookum Creek is south of the facility and flows east into the Puget Sound. The site is almost entirely outlined with pervious green space. 2.3 Map of Facility Layout The manufacturing and storage buildings occupy approximately 137,000 square feet of the total site. Miscellaneous industrial equipment often associated with saw mills,such as a debarker,hopper,and conveyors are also located at the facility. This SWPPP covers the entire operational facility however, very often, no off-site discharge occurs from the pervious log yard areas. There are two active wells on site used for fire suppression and drinking water. Waste water is discharged to a septic system. The facility has only one catch basin which is located at the vehicle washing and fueling area near the north-central boundary of the site. Water collected at the catch basin is contained and does not discharge from the site as Stormwater. This water is contained and transported off site for disposal as needed. Non-infiltrating stormwater flows to the southwest treatment ponds, east treatment ponds, or sort yard ponds where it can be sampled at Outfall sampling points A-2, B-2, or C-2 respectively. The location of buildings, potential sources of stormwater discharge pollutant loading, and stormwater discharge locations at the facility are shown on the Site Stormwater Figure(page 6 and Appendix K). 2.4 Description of Stormwater Drainage System and Facility Outfalls The site is divided into 5 drainage basins. Basin boundaries and stormwater structures are shown on the Site Stormwater Figure. Basin 1 is the West End Mill and Lumber Storage Area and consists mainly of asphalt and concrete surfaces, and roofed structures. A seasonal creek flows through Basin 1. In many places,the seasonal creek is contained within a culvert below impervious pavement. Stormwater within Basin 1 sheet flows across pavement to the Southwest Treatment Ponds. Roof drains are also directed to the ponds via underground conduit. Stormwater passes through a series of pond cells. It exits the final treatment cell and crosses a concrete spillway before flowing into the seasonal creek. The spillway serves as permit sampling location A-2 for Outfall A. Basin 2 is the Maintenance, Mill, and Log Yard. Stormwater within this basin mainly sheet flows to areas of infiltration including the Log Yard Treatment Swale and a Stormwater French Drain located west of the main mill buildings.Some stormwater collects in a sump and is piped through an Oil Water Separator(OWS)to the Stormwater French Drain. When flow into the French Drain is greater than the infiltration capabilities, excess water can be piped to From the Log Yard Treatment Swale for infiltration. Basin 2 is also the location of the facilities rail spur www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Alta forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a nteaUg ro u p Page 4 and rail car loading area constructed in 2017. This area is paved except for the gravel strip directly beneath the rail tracks. The paved area associated with the rail spur is graded so stormwater sheet flows to the tracks and infiltrates the ground surface. A four-inch,perforated pipe is buried beneath the concrete rail ties and runs the length of the spur. During saturated conditions,water flows east through the pipe and emerges to ground surface near the end of the paved area. It then passes through a culvert under the existing rail mainline into a gravel ditch graded west and parallel to the tracks. Eventually this water can flow to the seasonal creek flowing through Basin 1. The vehicle fueling and washing station is located within Basin 2. Stormwater contacting this area flows to a catch basin where it is pumped to a containment structure. As needed,this water is taken offsite for treatment and disposal. Basin 3 is the Log Sort yard and Log Storage. Stormwater within Basin 3 is directed to the East Treatment Ponds. The final pond is located on the eastern end of the log yard where stormwater generally infiltrates and does not leave the site. During heavy storm events infiltrating water within Basin 3 can emerge from the ground downgradient and flow offsite. When offsite discharge is occurring within Basin 3,water can be sampled at permit sampling location B-2 near Outfall B,located southeast of the final infiltration pond, near the site boundary. Basin 4 is the East Log Sort Yard and Log Storage and is the section of the operational area located east of Retorf Creek. Stormwater within this basin generally sheet flows or migrates via swales to the Sort Yard Pond System and infiltrates. During significant precipitation events water that does not infiltrate exits the pond system via piping where it can be sampled at permit sampling location C-2 at Outfall C. Basin 5 is the South Log Yard. This basin is mostly impervious pavement and is located south of the fencing mill. Stormwater within Basin 5 flows to the South Treatment Pond System and intiltrates. During large storm events water may overflow the South Treatment Pond and flow into the same seasonal creek associated with Basin 1. www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Q Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to a` ro u Page 5 't" ► rim` '�kr ; r �r� �r ��p�C +�L4 �rL,� '�'s ^'!� � � , .e •'�Y..��; � .�+� �y,�i�„ s:.ir l!� r :�.��(e�q, � / yy.

Potential pollutants in stormwater discharges are total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity (T), chemical oxygen demand (COD), oil sheen (visual), pH altering materials(pH),copper(Cu)and zinc(Zn). A list of materials utilized at the facility that are or may be exposed to stormwater runoff or snowmelt are presented in Appendix C. 3.1 Connections to the Storm Drain A review of the connections to the stormwater conveyance system was conducted. Stormwater falling on non- pervious portions of the site migrates to treatment pond cells or other areas of infiltration. There are no known illicit connections to the storm drain. 3.2 Sources of Stormwater Pollutant Loading The following subsections describe and discuss actual or potential sources for stormwater pollutant loading for the facility. Where possible, an attempt has been made to determine the types of pollutants expected from each source.If needed,additional sources may be listed in Appendix D. 3.2.1 Loading and Unloading of Dry Bulk Materials and Liquids Logs,brought into the property by trucks,are unloaded and stored at the western end of the property before being transported via heavy equipment to the debarker. Finished fencing product is transported from the processing area to the western-central side of the property and stored until being loaded onto trucks or rail cars for transport off the facility. Contracted fuel delivery trucks enter the facility to fill a 5,000-gallon,double walled,diesel tank and 400-gallon,double walled,gasoline tank.These tanks are used for refueling equipment and are located adjacent to the debarker and oil building. Stormwater contacting the refueling area is contained and transported off site for treatment and disposal. Delivery and offloading of various lubricants such as grease and hydraulic oil also occurs at the oil building. Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,pH,Total Suspended Solids,Oil/Sheen. 3.2.2 Outdoor Storage of Materials or Products Typical outdoor storage of wood materials includes raw logs,wood debris,and wrapped fencing products. Heavy equipment is typically stored south and east of the main production building while parked cars are parked north of the main office. Recycling and refuse dumpsters are located throughout the facility. Any drums stored outside are maintained in an empty state pursuant to 40 CFR Part 261; however, they may have residue. The fuel tanks near the debarker and oil building are not under cover and are exposed to rainfall. Stormwater in this area is collected via a catch basin and goes through an oil-water separator. It is then contained until transported offsite by a third-party vendor for treatment and disposal. www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Alto Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a ntea`g ro u p Page 8 Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,pH,Chemical Oxygen Demand,Total Suspended Solids,Oil/Sheen,Copper,Zinc. 3.2.3 Outdoor Manufacturing and Processing At the facility,logs are stripped outside on the debarking platform operations area. Potential Pollutants:Turbidity, pH,Total Suspended Solids,Oil/Sheen. 3.2.4 Onsite Dust or Particulate Generating Processes The manufacturing of cedar fencing involves cutting and sawing processes that can generate sawdust and particulates. A minimal amount of water is often used to reduce dust generation and spreading. Debris and dust removal occurs nightly at the facility on production days. Additionally,the facility is more thoroughly cleaned on weekends when production is not occurring. Dust and chips are collected and moved off the facility as hog fuel, wood chips,or saw dust. Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,Total Suspended Solids. 3.2.5 Vehicle and Equipment Fueling, Maintenance, and/or Cleaning A maintenance area and shop building is located near the north-central area of the property as shown on the Site Stormwater Figure. Equipment parts,tools, and work areas are present. The maintenance shop and oil storage area are roofed structures. Additionally, the oil storage area is on a non-pervious ground surface. Most maintenance activities occurwithin the buildings where Stormwater cannot directly contact potential contaminants. Some maintenance of larger equipment is performed exterior of the building on an asphalt or concrete covered surface. A double walled AST containing 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel and a double walled AST containing 400 gallons of gasoline are located at the refueling area.Stormwater contacting the refueling area is contained and transported off site for treatment and disposal. Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,pH,Chemical Oxygen Demand,Total Suspended Solids,Oil/Sheen,Copper,Zinc. 3.2.6 Roofs and Other Elevated Surfaces The manufacturing processes occurring at the site generates dust and particulate matter that generally falls to the ground. However,a certain amount is wind driven to elevated surfaces such as roofs and is exposed to stormwater where it can influence turbidity and TSS. Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,pH,Total Suspended Solids,Oil/Sheen,Copper,Zinc. www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to aag ro u p Page 9 3.2.7 Surfaces Potentially Mobilized by Stormwater(eg-Galvanized Surfaces) Stormwater encounters a minimal amount of exposed galvanized structures. Exposure to these metal structures may lead to increased zinc concentrations in stormwater runoff. Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,Copper,Zinc. 3.2.8 Off-Site Contributions The site is west of State Highway 108 north of an active rail line. No industrial sites are located immediately up slope from the facility and therefore, with the exception of pollutants that may be contributed from vehicles travelling on highway and increased turbidity from graveled areas,off-site contributions are not expected to impact the quality of stormwater flowing from the site. Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,pH,Chemical Oxygen Demand,Total Suspended Solids,Oil/Sheen,Copper,Zinc. 3.2.9 General Surface Run-Off Dust and organic debris collects on the asphalt surfaces and roof areas on the site. Furthermore,metal fixtures on the roof,buildings and other structures on the site oxidize and form rust. The dust and rust accumulate on surfaces outside of the building which are exposed to stormwater. The settled rust and dust may become suspended or dissolved in stormwater;therefore,general surface run-off may contribute to pollutant loading. Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,pH,Chemical Oxygen Demand,Total Suspended Solids,Oil/Sheen,Copper,Zinc. 3.2.10 Erosion Much of the site is unimproved and used for storing logs. However, the vast majority of unimproved areas are pervious and do not contribute to stormwater discharge. Sloped, vegetated soil borders the manufacturing site and a small amount is located within the property. These unimproved areas may suspend soil particles in stormwater and may contribute to increased turbidity and TSS. Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,Total Suspended Solids,Copper,Zinc. 3.2.11 Ancillary Areas and Employee Parking Employee parking mainly occurs in a graveled area located on the northern end of the property near the main office building. Employee vehicles may deposit lubricants, fluids, and particulate matter onto surfaces exposed to stormwater. Stormwater flowing over the parking area surfaces will suspend these pollutants in stormwater. The parking area is considered a non-industrial area(EPA Storm Water Phase II Final Rule Fact Sheet 4.0,January 2000). Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,pH,Chemical Oxygen Demand,Total Suspended Solids,Oil/Sheen,Copper,Zinc. www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to a`g ro u p Page 10 3.2.12 On-site Waste Treatment,Storage, and Disposal Refuse collection occurs at multiple locations throughout the facility. Dumpsters used to accumulate debris generated from production and non-production related activities are moved to the south end of the property prior to transport offsite. Dumpsters are kept closed except when transferring refuse. Non-hazardous waste is removed weekly by an authorized disposal service. Potential Pollutants:Turbidity,pH,Chemical Oxygen Demand,Total Suspended Solids,Oil/Sheen,Copper,Zinc. 4.0 ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL POLLUTANTS 4.1 Significant Materials that May Contact Stormwater Alta Forest Products has materials that may contact the stormwater discharged from the facility. These materials are stored or accumulated at the facility and are used in the production processes at the facility. In general, organic materials, dusts, particulate matter and oils may be used, generated, or emitted at the facility. Where possible,the types of chemicals used at each source are disclosed in the material inventory(see Appendix D). 4.2 Source of Pollutant Loading Section 3, Description of Potential Sources of Pollutants,provides a discussion of the specific pollutants potentially contributing to stormwater by source. Table 4.2 provides a summary of potential sources of stormwater pollutant loading by the specific pollutant.

Observations of non-stormwater discharges shall be recorded on the form in Appendix E. 4.4.1 Permitted Non-Stormwater Discharge Pollution prevention measures are required for allowable non-stormwater discharges and are discussed in Section 5.0. Sources of authorized non-stormwater that are combined with stormwater discharges from the industrial activity area are identified below and are authorized under the ISGP. These sources of allowable non-stormwater must be identified in the SWPPP to be authorized under the ISGP. a) fire-fighting activities, b) fire hydrant flushing,testing and maintenance, www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 0 Alto Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to a`g ro u p Page 13 c) potable water including water line flushing, provided that water line flushing must be de-chlorinated prior to discharge, d) uncontaminated air conditioning and compressor condensate, e) landscape watering, f) uncontaminated ground water or spring water, g) foundation or footing drains where flows are not contaminated with process materials such as solvents, and h) incidental windblown mist from cooling towers that collects on rooftops and adjacent portions of the building. 4.4.2 Illicit Non-Stormwater Discharges Domestic wastewater, non-contact cooling water, process wastewater,water from washing vehicles or equipment, steam cleaning and/or pressure washing are prohibited from being discharged to the stormwater system unless authorized by a separate NPDES permit or state waste discharge permit.The illicit non-stormwater discharge must collect in a tank for off-site disposal, or discharge to a sanitary sewer with written approval from the local sewage authority may be allowable. If additional non-stormwater discharges are identified,the SWPPP will be updated accordingly. 5.0 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES This section details the BMPs that have been implemented to reduce pollutants in industrial stormwater discharges from specific actual or potential sources of stormwater discharge pollutant loading. 5.1 General BMPs 5.1.1 Good Housekeeping Outdoor activity and work areas are kept clean by vacuum sweeping paved surfaces quarterly, at a minimum, to reduce on-site sources of dust, hand collection and sweeping of dust and chips nightly, and keeping dumpsters closed. More specific housekeeping activities are listed in Table 5.2. 5.1.2 Source Control Vacuum sweeping more frequently, if needed, is an effective way to remove dust, debris, metals, and other pollutants in the facility's stormwater discharge. Dust created by the manufacturing of cedar fencing is present throughout the processing area. Additionally, motor oil and hydraulic fluids can have high metals concentrations and it is best to prevent them from ever contacting precipitation or runoff.The most effective source control is to prevent leaks from vehicles and equipment at their source. If puddles or spots of oil or fluid are observed, the oil should be cleaned up directly with absorbent materials.Solid particles such as dust and dirt can absorb motor oil www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan O Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton, Washington January 30,2018 a ntea`g ro u p Page 14 and hydraulic fluid. When this happens, it may not be obvious that the fluids are present, or the amount may be underestimated. Sweeping parking areas, loading docks,and other paved surfaces can effectively stop pollutants from entering runoff. Sweeping removes large and small particles and with them, motor oil, hydraulic fluid, tire dust,and in some cases zinc from galvanized metal runoff.This is an important source control BMP. 5.1.3 Preventive Maintenance Stormwater related infrastructure is inspected on a regular basis. Maintenance and cleaning of debris,sediments, and oil from areas potentially contacted by stormwater will be performed in accordance with the BMPs set forth in the 2012 SWMM: • Inspect and clean conveyance systems and catch basins as needed. • Promptly repair any deterioration threatening the structural integrity of stormwater facilities. • Ensure adequacy of storm drain capacity and prevent heavy sediment discharges to the stormwater system. • Clean catch basin(s)when the depth of deposits reaches 60 percent of the sump depth as measured from the bottom of the sump to the invert of the lowest pipe into or out of the sump. In no case should there be less than six inches of clearance from the debris surface to the invert of the lowest pipe. • Clean woody debris in a catch basin(s)as frequently as needed to ensure proper operation of the catch basin. • Post warning signs;"Dump No Waste-Drains to Ground Water,""Streams,""Lakes,"or emboss on or adjacent to all storm drain inlets where possible. Industrial equipment is inspected and tested on a regular basis to prevent problems that could result in pollution. 5.1.4 Spill Prevention and Emergency Cleanup Plan Employees are trained in proper chemical handling procedures. Much of materials utilized by the facility are stored indoors and are not exposed to precipitation. Some equipment such as forklifts and heavy machinery is stored and fueled outside in areas exposed to precipitation. The facility has spill kits located throughout the facility including adjacent to the refueling area.The spill kits which,if safe to do so,can be used to contain and potentially clean up a spill include the following items: • Oil absorbents capable of absorbing 15 gallons of fuel; • A storm drain plug or cover kit; • A non-water containment boom,a minimum of 10 feet in length with a 12-gallon absorbent capacity; • A non-metallic shovel;and • Two five-gallon buckets with lids. The following general guidelines should be followed for evacuation,spill control, notification of proper authorities, www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Alto Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a ntea*g ro u p Page 15 and general emergency procedures in the event of a chemical incident which there is a potential for a significant release of hazardous materials. 1. Evacuation: Persons in the vicinity of a spill should immediately evacuate the area (except for employees with training in the spill response in circumstances described below). If the spill is of medium or large size, or if the spill seems hazardous, immediately notify emergency response personnel. 2. Spill Control Techniques: Once a spill has occurred, the employee needs to decide whether the spill is small enough to handle without outside assistance. Only employees with training in spill response should attempt to contain or clean up a spill. If you are cleaning up a spill yourself, make sure you are aware of the hazards associated with materials spilled, have adequate ventilation, and proper personal protective equipment. Handle all residual chemical and cleanup materials as if it is hazardous waste until it can be properly tested. 3. Spill Response and Cleanup: Chemical spills are divided into three categories:small, medium,and large. Response cleanup procedures vary depending on the size of the spill. • Small Spills: Any spill where the major dimension is less than 18 inches in diameter. Small spills are generally handled by the internal personnel and usually do not require an emergency response by police or fire department HAZMAT teams. ➢ Quickly control the spill by stopping or securing the spill source. This could be as simple as up-righting a container and using floor-dry or absorbent pads to soak up spilled material. Wear gloves and protective clothing,if necessary. ➢ Put spilled material and absorbents in secure containers. ➢ Consult with the Responsible Person and the safety data sheet(SDS)for spill and waste disposal procedures. ➢ In some instances, the area of the spill should not be washed with water. Use dry cleanup methods and never wash spills down the drain,onto a storm drain,or onto the driveway or parking lot. ➢ Both the spilled material and the absorbent may be considered hazardous waste must be handled and disposed of in compliance with the state and federal environmental regulations. • Medium Spills: Spills where the major dimension exceeds 18 inches, but is less than 6 feet. Outside emergency response personnel may be called for medium spills. Common sense, however,will dictate when it is necessary to call them. ➢ Immediately try to contain the spill at is source by simple measures only. This means quickly up-righting a container,plugging a line,or putting a lid on a container,if possible. Do not use absorbents unless they are immediately available. Once you have make a quick attempt to contain the spill or once you have quickly determined you cannot take any brief containment measures,leave the area and alert Emergency Responders at 911. Closing doors behind you while leaving helps contain fumes from spills. Give Emergency Responders accurate information as the location, chemical, and estimated www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n tE a'g ro u p Page 16 amount of the spill. ➢ Evaluate the area outside the spill. Engines and electrical equipment near the spill area must be turned off. This eliminates various sources of ignition in the area. Advise Emergency Responders on how to turn off engines or electrical sources. Do not go back into the spill area once you have left. ➢ After the Emergency Responders have contained the spill, be prepared to assist them with any other information that may be necessary such as SDSs and questions about the facility. Do not enter the spill area until the responder in charge gives the all clear. ➢ Both the spilled material and the absorbent may be considered hazardous and must be handled and disposed of in compliance with state and federal environmental regulations. ➢ Reports must be filed with the proper authorities. It is the responsibility of the spiller to inform both his/her supervisor and the Emergency Responders as to what caused the spill. • Large Spills:Any spill involving flammable liquids, such as gasoline, where the major dimension exceeds 6 feet in diameter or any "running" spill where the source of the spill has not been contained or flow has not been stopped. The response for large spills is similar to the procedures for medium spills,except that the exposure danger is greater. Larger spills involving combustible liquids such as diesel fuel or hydraulic fluid that are mostly likely to occur at the Facility, would typically be treated as medium spill if safe to do so and common sense would dictate. • Larger Spills Involving Flammable Liquids or Hazardous Materials: ➢ Leave the area and notify Emergency Responders (911). Give the operator the spill location,chemical spilled,and approximate amount. ➢ From a safe area, attempt to get SIDS information for the spilled chemical for the Emergency Responders to use. Also, be prepared to advise them as to any ignition sources that need to be shut off. Advise them of absorbents,containers,or spill control equipment that may be available. Use a radio or phone to assist if necessary. ➢ Only Emergency Responders, in accordance with their own established procedures, should handles spills greater in dimension than 6 feet for hazardous or flammable materials. Once arrived at site, the area is to remain in control of Emergency Responders until the responder in charge gives the all clear. ➢ Both the spilled material and the absorbent may be considered hazardous waste and must be handled and disposed of in compliance with state and federal environmental regulations. ➢ Provide information for reports to supervisors and responders. www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan 0 Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to a`g ro u p Page 17 5.1.5 Employee Training and Awareness Employee training and periodic employee meetings are conducted to increase employee awareness of the problems associated with stormwater pollution prevention.

It is recommended that the monthly inspections are conducted during daylight hours and if possible,during a discharge event.However,if a storm event is not occurring during the monthly inspection, visual observations will be conducted to determine the presence of stains, sludges, odors, or other abnormal conditions of site areas that are exposed to storm water. Each inspection shall include: 1) A review of the previous month's Industrial Stormwater Monthly Inspection Report to ensure that corrective actions have been completed. 2) Observations made at the stormwater sampling locations(A-2, B-2,and C-2)and areas where stormwater associated with industrial activity is visible such as the settling ponds. 3) Observations for the presence of floating materials,visible oil sheen,discoloration,turbidity, www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Alto Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to a*g ro u p Page 32 odor,etc.in the stormwater discharge(s). 4) Observations for the presence of illicit discharges a) If an illicit discharge is discovered,the facility shall notify Ecology within seven days. b) The illicit discharge must be eliminated within 30 days. 5) Verification that the description of potential pollutant sources required under the ISGP is accurate. 6) Verification that the Drainage Plan included in this SWPPP reflects current conditions. 7) Assessment of all stormwater BMPs that have been implemented,noting all the following: a) Effectiveness of the BMPs inspected. b) Locations of BMPs that need maintenance. c) Reason maintenance is needed and a schedule for maintenance. d) Locations where additional or different BMPs are needed and the rationale for the additional or different BMPs. The inspection results shall be recorded on the"Industrial Stormwater Monthly Inspection Report"form,Appendix H. The previous month's report will be reviewed prior to each monthly inspection. These monthly reports will be kept with the SWPPP files for at least 5 years and will be made available to Ecology upon request. 7.0 STORMWATER SAMPLING The stormwater discharge location is identified on the Site Map (see page 6). If the sampling point changes then Ecology must be informed using the Industrial Storm water General Permit/Sample Point Update Form. 7.1 Stormwater Sampling Procedures A stormwater discharge sample must be taken quarterly. Each sample will be a"grab"sample from a storm event that produces stormwater discharge during business hours. During each quarterly sampling event, all stormwater sample documentation including the sample date, time, location, method of sample collection, and weather conditions will be documented and filed with the facility's SWPPP. In addition,a notation describing if the sample was collected within the first 12 hours of stormwater discharge events; or, if it is unknown (e.g., discharge was occurring during start of regular business hours)will also be documented. Single grab samples will be collected from Outfall A-2,B-2,and C-2 during the quarterly stormwater sampling events. The samples will be collected in laboratory supplied bottles. The sample bottles will be labeled with the date and time of sample collection, and the sample ID with the date(DPO-MMDDYY). The bottle will be placed in a plastic bag and stored in a cooler on ice. In addition, the stormwater will be inspected for visible oil sheen, floating materials, color disturbance, turbidity, and odor and will also be analyzed in the field with a pH meter. All observations,pH meter calibration data,and pH values will be recorded on field data sheets. The sampling records www.anteagroup.com I Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Q Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to a`g ro u p Page 33 will be kept with the SWPPP for at least 5 years and will be provided to Ecology upon request. Sampling results will be submitted to Ecology on Discharge Monitoring Reports(Section 10). The grab sample should be taken during the first hour of the discharge if possible. If more than one sample is taken per quarter then the results must be averaged and reported via the quarterly discharge monitoring report. If more than one sample is taken in a 24-hour period then the results must be averaged for that day. If stormwater does not discharge from at an Outfall during storm events,the condition should be noted and submitted as such in the Discharge Monitoring Report. 7.2 Stormwater Sampling Parameters The stormwater samples will be stored on ice in a cooler for delivery to an analytical laboratory that is certified under the provisions of Accreditation of Environmental Laboratories,Chapter 173-50 WAC. The following table lists the benchmarks and minimum sampling requirements for the Stormwater samples.Table 7.2 Benchmarks and Sampling Requirements Benchmark Analytical Laboratory Minimum Parameter Units Value Method Quantitation Sampling Level Frequency EPA 180.1 Turbidity NTU 25 Meter 0.5 1/quarter Standard Between 5.0 and pH Units 9.0 Meter/Paper ±0.5 1/quarter No Visible Oil Oil Sheen Yes/No Sheen N/A N/A 1/quarter Copper,Total µg/L 14 EPA 200.8 2.0 1/quarter Zinc,Total µg/L 117 EPA 200.8 2.5 1/quarter Chemical Oxygen mg/L 120 SM5220-D 10 1/quarter Demand Total Suspended mg/L 100 SM2540-D 5 1/quarter Solids The laboratory results will comply with the quantitation level specified in the table. The stormwater samples collected for turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) analyses will be collected in an unpreserved bottle. The laboratory holding time for the turbidity analysis is 48 hours. The stormwater samples collected for total copper and total zinc analyses will be collected in nitric acid preserved bottles. The holding time for these analyses is 6 months. The laboratory reports will be kept with the SWPPP for at least 5 years and made available to Ecology www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan �✓ Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to a'g ro u p Page 34 upon request. 8.0 CORRECTIVE ACTIONS I If the concentration of pollutants in stormwater discharges exceeds benchmark values,then corrective actions may be required. 8.1 Level 1 Corrective Action If any benchmark value is exceeded in a quarter then the following must occur: 1. Within 14 days of receipt of the sampling results that indicate a benchmark exceedance for a given quarter: a. Conduct an inspection and investigate the cause. b. Review the SWPPP and ensure that it fully complies with ISGP Condition S3 and contains the correct BMPs from the applicable Stormwater Management Manual. c. Make appropriate revisions to the SWPPP to include additional operational source control BMPs with the goal of achieving compliance with specific benchmark values. 2. Summarize the Level 1 Corrective actions in the annual report(Condition S9.13). 3. The permittee must certify and implement the revised SWPPP as soon as possible but no later than the due date for the DMR. 8.2 Level 2 Corrective Action If any benchmark value is exceeded for any two quarters during the calendar year then a Level 2 Corrective Action is required. 1. Review the SWPPP and ensure compliance with ISGP Condition 5.3. 2. Make appropriate revisions to the SWPPP to include additional structural source controls BMPs with the goal of achieving compliance with the benchmark values. 3. Summarize the Level 2 Corrective Actions planned or taken in the annual report(ISGP Condition 59.6). 4. The permittee must certify and implement the revised SWPPP no later than August 311t of the following year. a. If the installation of the structural controls is not feasible by the deadline, then Ecology may approve additional time. b. If installation of the structural controls is not feasible or not necessary then Ecology may prepare a waiver. c. The request for time extension must include a technical explanation and must be submitted by May 15th. Ecology must approve or deny the request within 60 days. d. While the time extension is in effect, benchmark exceedances for the same parameters will not trigger a Level 2 or 3 Corrective Action. www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to a`g ro u p Page 35 e. For the year following the calendar year the Level 2 Corrective Action was triggered, benchmark exceedances for the same parameter do not trigger additional Level 2 or 3 Corrective Actions. 5. The Permit states that for the year following the calendar year the Facility triggered a Level 2 corrective action, benchmark exceedances (for the same parameter) do not count towards another Level 2 or 3 Corrective Action. However,a Level 1 Corrective Action is required each time a benchmark is exceeded. 8.3 Level 3 Corrective Action If any benchmark value is exceeded for any three quarters during the calendar year then a Level 3 Corrective Action is required. See ISGP Condition S8.D for all of the requirements. 9.0 REPORTING The facility will submit quarterly Discharge Monitoring Reports and Annual Reports to Ecology. 9.1 Discharge Monitoring Reports Sampling data obtained from Outfalls A-2, B-2, and C-2 during each reporting period shall be submitted to Ecology on a Discharge Monitoring Report(DMR). A copy of all DMRs will be kept with the SWPPP for at least 5 years and will be made available to Ecology upon request. The sampling results shall be submitted to Ecology by the DMR Due Dates listed in Table 9.1. Table 9.1-Reporting Periods and DMR Due Dates Reporting Period Months DMR Due Date 1st January-March May 15 2nd April-June August 15 3rd July-Sept November 15 4tn October-December February 15 DMRs shall be submitted electronically using Ecology's Water Quality Permitting Portal — Discharge Monitoring Report(DMR)application unless a waiver from electronic reporting has been granted. A DMR shall be submitted to Ecology for each reporting period, whether the facility has discharged stormwater or not. If discharge(s) occurred during normal working hours and during safe conditions, but no stormwater sample was obtained during the given reporting period,the DMR shall report that"no sample was obtained." If no discharge(s)occurred during the entire quarter or the discharges during the quarter occurred outside normal working hours or during unsafe conditions,the facility shall submit a DMR indicating that"no discharge occurred during the quarter". Sampling may be suspended for one or more parameters(other than "visible oil sheen")for a period of three years (12 quarters) based on consistent attainment of benchmark values for eight consecutive quarters. This would be www.anteagroup.com I - Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan O Alta Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a ntea`g ro u p Page 36 a reported value equal to or less than the benchmark value, or for pH,within the range of 5.0-9.0. If sampling has been suspended due to consistent attainment, this shall be reported on the DMR as well for the specific parameter(s). If sampling occurs more than once per quarter,the facility shall average all the monitoring results for each parameter (except pH and "visible oil sheen")and compare the average value to the benchmark value. However,should more than one sample be collected during a 24-hour period,the daily average of the individual grab sample results from that 24-hour period must first be calculated. The daily average will then be used to calculate a quarterly average to compare to the benchmark value. The quarterly average value shall be reported on the DMR for the specific parameter(s). 9.2 Annual Reporting An annual report (see Appendix I) will be conducted and documented as required by S7 of the ISGP. The ISGP coverage for the Facility requires that an Annual Report is submitted to Ecology no later than May 15th of each year. Annual Reports shall be submitted electronically using Ecology's Water Quality Permitting Portal—Permit Submittals application unless a waiver from electronic reporting has been granted. The Annual Report form is included as Appendix I for reference. If Corrective Action is not yet completed at the time of submission, the status of the outstanding Corrective Action(s)shall be described within the Annual Report. A copy of all Annual Reports will be kept with the SWPPP for at least 5 years and will be made available to Ecology upon request. The following information shall be included in each Annual Report: • Identify the condition triggering the need for Corrective Action review. • Describe the problem(s)and identify the dates they were discovered. • Summarize any Level 1,2 or 3 Corrective Actions completed during the previous calendar year and include the dates of the completed the Corrective Actions. • Describe the status of any Level 2 or 3 Corrective Actions triggered during the previous calendar year,and identify the date the Corrective Action(s)are expected to be completed. The Facility will retain a copy of all Annual Reports on-site with the SWPPP documents for Ecology review. 9.3 Reporting Permit Violations In the event the facility is unable to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this ISGP which may endanger human health or the environment,the facility shall, upon becoming aware of the circumstances: a) Immediately act to minimize potential pollution or otherwise stop the noncompliance and correct the problem. b) Immediately notify the Ecology's regional office at(425)649-7000 of the failure to comply. www.anteagroup.com Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan V Alto Forest Products,LLC. 780 West Hwy 108,Shelton,Washington January 30,2018 a n to a`g ro u p Page 37 c). Submit a detailed written report to Ecology within 5 days of the time the Facility became aware of the circumstances unless Ecology requests an earlier submission.The report shall be submitted using Ecology's Water Quality Permitting Portal—Permit Submittals application,unless a waiver from electronic reporting has been granted according to S9.A.3.The Facility's report shall contain: i. A description of the noncompliance,including exact dates and times. ii. Whether the noncompliance has been corrected and,if not,when the noncompliance will be corrected. iii. The steps taken or planned to reduce,eliminate,and prevent reoccurrence of the noncompliance. d) Upon request of the Facility, Ecology may waive the requirement for a written report on a case-by- case basis,if the immediate notification,as described above,is received by Ecology within 24 hours. Compliance with the requirements of this section does not relieve the Facility from responsibility to maintain continuous compliance with the terms and conditions of this Permit or the resulting liability for failure to comply. 10.0 RECORDS RETENTION The ISGP requires that the following documents are retained on-site for a minimum of five years: • a copy of the Permit; • a copy of the Permit coverage letter; • records of all sampling information specified in Condition S4.13.3 of the Permit; • inspection reports including documentation specified in Condition S7 of the Permit; • all equipment calibration records; • all BMP maintenance records; • copies of all laboratory reports as described in Condition S3.13.4 of the Permit; • copies of all reports(DMRs,Annual Reports)required by the Permit; • records of all data used to complete the application for the Permit; • records of spills,releases,and process malfunctions that have the potential to affect stormwater quality; • maintenance or repair activities that are required to maintain compliance with the provisions of this SWPPP; • training records;and, • revisions to this SWPPP.

Eight consecutive quarterly samples demonstrate a reported value equal to or less than the benchmark value; or for pH,within the range of 5.0—9.0. b. For purposes of tallying"consecutive quarterly samples": i. Do not include any quarters in which the Permittee did not collect a sample, but should have(e.g., discharge(s)occurred during normal working hours, and during safe conditions; but no sample was collected during the entire quarter). If this occurs,the tally of consecutive quarterly samples is reset to zero. ii. Do not include any quarters in which the Permittee did not collect a sample because there was no discharge during the quarter(or the discharges during the quarter occurred outside normal working hours or during unsafe conditions). These quarters are not included in the calculation of eight consecutive quarters, but do not cause the tally to be reset; i.e.,they are skipped over. c. Permittees monitoring more than once per quarter shall average all of the monitoring results for each parameter(except pH and"visible oil sheen")and compare the average value to the benchmark value. However, if Permittees collect more than one sample during a 24-hour period,they must first calculate the daily average of the individual grab sample results collected during that 24-hour period;then use the daily average to calculate a quarterly average. 7. A Permittee who has a significant process change shall not use previous sampling results to demonstrate consistent attainment. 8.

Eligibility for Coverage of New Discharges to Impaired Waters Facilities that meet the definition of"new discharger"and discharge to a 303(d)-listed waterbody(Category 5), an impaired waterbody with an applicable TMDL(Category 4A), or a pollution control program for sediment cleanup(i.e., a Category 4B sediment- impaired waterbody)are not eligible for coverage under this permit unless the facility: 1. Prevents all exposure to stormwater of the pollutant(s)for which the waterbody is impaired,and retains documentation of procedures taken to prevent exposure onsite with its SWPPP; or 2. Documents that the pollutant(s)for which the waterbody is impaired is not present at the facility, and retains documentation of this finding with the SWPPP; or 3. Provides Ecology with data to support a showing that the discharge is not expected to cause or contribute to an exceedance of a water quality standard,and retain such data onsite with its SWPPP. The facility must provide data and other technical information to Ecology sufficient to demonstrate: a. For discharges to waters without an EPA approved or established TMDL,that the discharge of the pollutant for which the water is impaired will meet instream water quality criteria at the point of discharge to the waterbody; or b. For discharges to waters with an EPA approved or established TMDL,that there are sufficient remaining wasteload allocations in an EPA approved or established TMDL to allow industrial stormwater discharge and that existing dischargers to the waterbody are subject to compliance schedules designed to bring the waterbody into attainment with water quality standards. Facilities are eligible for coverage under this permit if Ecology issues permit coverage based upon an affirmative determination that the discharge will not cause or contribute to the existing impairment.

Each and every such violation shall be a separate and distinct offense, and in case of a continuing violation, every day's continuance shall be deemed to be a separate and distinct violation. G14.UPSET Definition—"Upset"means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology-based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance,or careless or improper operation. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology-based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of the following paragraph are met. A Permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs or other relevant evidence that: 1)an upset occurred and that the Permittee can identify the cause(s)of the upset; 2)the permitted facility was being properly operated at the time of the upset; 3)the Permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in condition S9.E; and 4)the Permittee complied with any remedial measures required under this permit. Final Industrial Stormwater General Permit—January 2, 2015 Page 48 G14 In any enforcement proceeding,the Permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has the burden of proof. G15.PROPERTY RIGHTS This permit does not convey any property rights of any sort,or any exclusive privilege. G16.DUTY TO COMPLY The Permittee shall comply with all conditions of this permit.Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of the Clean Water Act and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit termination,revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit renewal application. G17.TOXIC POLLUTANTS The Permittee shall comply with effluent standards or prohibitions established under Section 307(a)of the Clean Water Act for toxic pollutants within the time provided in the regulations that establish those standards or prohibitions,even if this permit has not yet been modified to incorporate the requirement.

A change in the location of industrial activity that affects the Permittee's sampling requirements in Conditions S3, S4, S5,and S6. Following such notice, permit coverage may be modified, or revoked and reissued pursuant to 40 CFR 122.62(a)to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited. Until such modification is effective, any new or increased discharge in excess of permit limits or not specifically authorized by this permit constitutes a violation. Final Industrial Stormwater General Permit—January 2, 2015 Page 49 G20 G20.REPORTING OTHER INFORMATION Where the Permittee becomes aware that it failed to submit any relevant facts in a permit application, or submitted incorrect information in a permit application or in any report to Ecology, it shall promptly submit such facts or information. G21.REPORTING ANTICIPATED NON-COMPLIANCE The Permittee shall give advance notice to Ecology by submission of a new application,or supplement to the existing application, at least 45 days prior to commencement of such discharges, of any facility expansions,production increases, or other planned changes, such as process modifications, in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance with permit limits or conditions.Any maintenance of facilities,which might necessitate unavoidable interruption of operation and degradation of effluent quality, shall be scheduled during non-critical water quality periods and carried out in a manner approved by Ecology. G22.REQUESTS TO BE EXCLUDED FROM COVERAGE UNDER THE PERMIT A. Any discharger authorized by this permit may request to be excluded from coverage under the general permit by applying for an individual permit. B. The discharger shall submit to Ecology an application as described in WAC 173-220- 040 or WAC 173-216-070,whichever is applicable,with reasons supporting the request. These reasons shall fully document how an individual permit will apply to the applicant in a way that the general permit cannot. C. Ecology may make specific requests for information to support the request. Ecology shall either issue an individual permit or deny the request with a statement explaining the reason for the denial. D. When.an individual permit is issued to a discharger otherwise subject to the industrial stormwater general permit,the applicability of the industrial stormwater general permit to that Permittee is automatically terminated on the effective date of the individual permit. G23.APPEALS A. The terms and conditions of this general permit,as they apply to the appropriate class of dischargers, are subject to appeal by any person within 30 days of issuance of this general permit, in accordance with Chapter 43.21B RCW, and Chapter 173-226 WAC. B. The terms and conditions of this general permit, as they apply to an individual discharger,are appealable in accordance with Chapter 43.21B RCW within 30 days of the effective date of coverage of that discharger. Consideration of an appeal of general permit coverage of an individual discharger is limited to the general permit's applicability or nonapplicability to that individual discharger. Final Industrial Stormwater General Permit—January , 2 2015 Page 50 G23.0 C. The appeal of gene al permit coverage of an individual discharger does not affect any other dischargers covered under this general permit. If the terms and conditions of this general permit are found to be inapplicable to any individual discharger(s),the matter shall be remanded to Ecology for consideration of issuance of an individual permit or permits. G24.SEVERABILITY The provisions of this permit are severable, and if any provision of this permit,or application of any provision of this permit to any circumstance, is held invalid,the application of such provision to other circumstances, and the remainder of this permit shall not be affected thereby. G25.BYPASS PROHIBIAD Bypass,which is the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility, is prohibited, and Ecology may take enforcement action against a Permittee for bypass unless one of the following circumstances(A, B, or C)is applicable. A. Bypass for Essential Maintenance without the Potential to Cause Violation of Permit Limits or Conditions Bypass is authorized if it is for essential maintenance and does not have the potential to cause violations of limitations or other conditions of this permit, or adversely impact public health as determined by Ecology prior to the bypass. The Permittee must submit prior notice, if possible, at least ten days before the date of the bypass. B. Bypass Which is Unavoidable,Unanticipated,and Results in Noncompliance of this Permit I This bypass is permitted only if: 1. Bypass is unavoidable to prevent loss of life,personal injury, or severe property damage. "Severe property damage"means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which would cause them to become inoperable,or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. 2. There are no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities,retention of untreated wastes, stopping production,maintenance during normal periods of equipment downtime (but not if adequate backup equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventative maintenance), or transport of untreated wastes to another treatment facility. 3. Ecology is properly notified of the bypass as required in condition S9E of this permit. Final.lhdustrial Stormwater General Permit—January 2, 2015 Page 51 G25.0 C. Bypass which is Anticipated and has the Potential to Result in Noncompliance of this Permit The Permittee must notify Ecology at least thirty days before the planned date of bypass. The notice must contain(1)a description of the bypass and its cause; (2)an analysis of all known alternatives which would eliminate, reduce, or mitigate the need for bypassing; (3) a cost-effectiveness analysis of alternatives including comparative resource damage assessment; (4)the minimum and maximum duration of bypass under each alternative; (5)a recommendation as to the preferred alternative for conducting the bypass; (6)the projected date of bypass initiation; (7)a statement of compliance with SEPA; (8)a request for modification of water quality standards as provided for in WAC 173-201A-410, if an exceedance of any water quality standard is anticipated; and (9) steps taken or planned to reduce, eliminate, and prevent reoccurrence of the bypass. For probable construction bypasses,the need to bypass is to be identified as early in the planning process as possible. The analysis required above must be considered during preparation of the engineering report or facilities plan and plans and specifications and must be included to the extent practical.In cases where the probable need to bypass is determined early,continued analysis is necessary up to and including the construction period in an effort to minimize or eliminate the bypass. Ecology will consider the following prior to issuing an administrative order for this type bypass: l. If the bypass is necessary to perform construction or maintenance-related activities essential to meet the requirements of this permit. 2. If there are feasible alternatives to bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes, stopping production, maintenance during normal periods of equipment down time, or transport of untreated wastes to another treatment facility. 3. If the bypass is planned and scheduled to minimize adverse effects on the public and the environment. After consideration of the above and the adverse effects of the proposed bypass and any other relevant factors,Ecology will approve or deny the request. The public must be notified and given an opportunity to comment on bypass incidents of significant duration,to the extent feasible.Approval of a request to bypass will be by administrative order issued by Ecology under RCW 90.48.120.
